How much of the basket is under water?

Weird question...depends when the roots grow from the basket...after that..the water shouldnt touch the basket because the air pump creates enough bubbles to wick the water upward in the basket

The bottom of the basket should sit just above the water line so that the aeration of the nutrient solution wets the grow media just enough to draw the roots into the reservoir. The goal is to have the root ball under the basket, in the reservoir. If the basket sits in the nutrient solution, the roots will get bound up within the grow medium and plant growth will be stunted.

As much as you set it under. Depending on how much you fill the bucket with water/solution. There is a water level tube for you too see where its at. Hard to go wrong. You want to start with the water higher and touching substrate and work your way down a little when roots grow into the reservoir to give them an air gap.

The opening is about 6 inches by 11.5 inches. The depth of the basket is about 6inches (not including the tines which are about 3 inches long). It was smaller than I thought but was purchased for use by my 9 year old so I think it should be fine. Hopefully he can use it this weekend on the Sound before we take the boat out of the water.

Hello , so far as I know they only sell the whole thing or just the basket itself. There are only 2 above ground skimmer sizes that I am aware of , widemouth (like this) or square -but they are a whole component I'm afraid. Hope this helped Tonya.

I hate to answer a question with a question, but how much water is typically left in the tub?

We think about 1-1/2" - 2". The boat is being stored 3 hours away so we are not able to take a measurement at this time.

I'm away at the moment so cannot answer this question. I can tell you that I love this basket. Got rid of the handle right away because it's just not necessary.

Our boat (and ladder) are in storage, so I can't give you an exact answer... Sorry :(

The basket itself is 22-1/2 inches around and approximately 12 inches long. The handle is 4 ft. long.

Thank you for your message to Hammacher Schlemmer. No, the basket does not allow for some water to remain. Please contact me if you require additional assistance. Thank you.

My guess is about 1 foot sides on the trangle with a depth of close to 2 feet.

Let the water clear the grounds and there is no drip! The basket is designed to minimize the problem good luck!

OK let's do some math. Let me put on my nerd glasses. The pool has a 33" radius, and half way would be 8" deep. So, the volume is pi*(33^2)*8 = 27,369 cubic inches. Based on sphere packing mathematics, roughly 64% of this volume will be filled by the volume of the balls. Lets say that the balls are about the size of the tennis ball, which has a volume of 8.2 cubic inches. So you take 27,369 x 0.64 / 8.2 and the result is 2,136 balls.

There's a mesh bottom to the carrier. It's one welded piece. Not a separate basket.

I would estimate about 200-250. They expand with water, so although they seem small in the package, there is really a generous amount to use.

There is no basket underneath. I think in the picture that may be a shadow. It's just the mesh bottom and then the sides.

it holds just under one gallon of water - approximately 3 inches deep I would say

there is just slightly less than 1.5 inches below the basket, so you should have plenty of room for your closure.
